I used the data for 20/28 powder for 7/8 oz loads and reduced the shot to 3/4 oz. Cases are Rem STS with CB 1078 wads. This load burns very clean in moderate weather. I haven't tried them in the cold. Overall this load breaks clays very well.

I'm going to give Bruce's original question a shot. First, what exactly is the load you took from the Hodgdon book? No load from the "book" should have the results Bruce described unless there is another factor involved. The factors I suspect are tipped wads, bad powder or primers, or air space in the hull. It is very possible to have a good looking crimp and still have air space in the hull, expecially with 3/4 ounce loads. RST shells are loaded for good cold weather performance and low pressure for vintage guns. The RST factory loads will not be as clean in the bore as "big three" loads that may be loaded up to SAAMI maximums. RST picks powders that give good cold weather performance at low, vintage gun, pressures. On the old forum, I listed some RST loads that were of extremely low pressures but gave good sound and performance at the target, fresh out of the freezer.

I'm using Balistic Products Sporting 20ga 072sg20L wads for 3/4oz loads, a #18 bushing of International Clays in my Mec 9000, rem game club hulls(interchangable with AA's) and normally winchester primers
We ran a few of these thru John D's little 20ga clunker he had at the New Years day deal.

I noticed they seemed a little dirtier than they have over the past year. Probably temp related.

Someplace, I don't remember where. I think Mike Campbell (Fox guy/gun crank) hooked me up with it. I have all the specs on another computer. I'll dig them up.
